For those who are confused, it’s a joke from an old Australian YouTube video.

you can learn about it here

[–] RoidingOldMan 36 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Happened in 1991 but not uploaded until 2009. Mirrors the plot of Minority Report (2002). Like he could see the future.

If I recall correctly he'd already committed plenty of white collar crime and by my guess assumed making a big show in front of the cameras would help him out, it really didn't.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 week ago

It helped us out

[–] essteeyou 5 points 1 week ago

I just watched an interview with him and a police officer on Australian news, and he said it was a case of mistaken identity or something. I didn't fact check anything.

Here's a link to the interview, he seems a bit confused.

I've been on the internet for a long time and I'd never seen that one. You're doing God's work.

You read the rolling R's.

RIP "are you waiting to receive my limp penis?" guy. He died a couple of months ago.

“are you waiting to receive my limp penis?”

Since seeing this video clip for the first time, I have spent my life since then awaiting the exact set of circumstances which will make this the line I need to deliver. Alas, it has not yet happened.

If that's not the perfect motivation to write a screenplay and cast yourself in it, I don't know what is!

Get real drunk and then go out and do your best to get laid—except don’t get hard and while she’s lying on the bed, watching you…there you go.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 week ago

He’s now in Aussie Crook Valhalla, enjoying endless succulent Chinese meals with Ned Kelly and Chopper Read.

Get your hand off my penis!

[–] YoFrodo 61 points 1 week ago

Ah, I see you know your judo well

[–] dohpaz42 50 points 1 week ago (4 children)

This would make a great movie. Let’s get that really tall guy from Jack Reacher to be the lead.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 week ago

There's a Futurama episode where they do this!

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 week ago (4 children)

really tall guy from Jack Reacher

That's Alan Ritchson. I think he can bench a dump truck.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 week ago (8 children)

Alan Richson is from Reacher. Jack Reacher is a movie that starred Tom Cruise (who was also in Minority Report)

Same character but different actors. Notably though, the joke is that Tom Cruise is pretty short.

You couldn't stage an arrest video that good. That man could project like a Shakespearean actor.

[–] Agent641 18 points 1 week ago (1 children)

He actually was a stage actor who did Shakespeare, no joke.

[–] Retrograde 8 points 1 week ago

Fuckin a. It has to be the most theatrical video recorded arrest in human history

[–] [email protected] 28 points 1 week ago

"Are you waiting to receive my limp penis!?!"

I'm seeing the video for the first time and discovered where was the beginning of this song sampled from: https://youtu.be/q07G2_zOEWA (badklaat - judo)

Interesting find.

[–] [email protected] 27 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Crime coefficient at 178, non leatal force authorized.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Please aim carefully, and eliminate the target.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Less lethal just means more practice.

Shoutout to The Chats for helping to finally identify(?) Mr. Democracy Manifest.

Wasn't this a futurerama episode?

[–] [email protected] 30 points 1 week ago

No, it was democracy manifest.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 1 week ago (2 children)

It was, riffing on Minority Report from 2002
